Scholars IndexThe Night Listener by Armistead Maupin Many years ago, when the first volume of Tales of the City was going to press, Christopher Isherwood compared its author's narrative gifts to those of Charles Dickens. This has proven to be the blurb of a lifetime, an ever-renewable currency appearing on almost all of Armistead Maupin's subsequent books. Yet it has held up wellDickens's gentle satire and broad good humor live on in Maupin more than in any other English-speaking writer. The Night Listener When an editor sends Gabriel yet another book to blurb, he reluctantly opens the package to find a long, rending memoir by Pete Lomax, an HIV-positive 13-year-old survivor of incest, rape, and sexual slavery.

featurescinemamusicvideo ... justify September 18, 2002 Volume 38 Issue 34 Armistead Maupin (Jump to Sarah Vowell) By Tasha Robinson The BBC's TV-miniseries adaptation of Armistead Maupin's Tales Of The City caused a furor when it aired on PBSin 1994, two men kissing on television, much less casually discussing gay sex, was unheard of. But Tales treated its gay characters and its straight characters as equals, much to the chagrin of right-wing politicians, who pressured PBS into dropping its plans to co-produce a second adaptation of Maupin's work. Tales Of The City began in 1976 as a serial story in the San Francisco Chronicle, which ran it as a daily feature for 13 years; the installments were eventually collected into six Tales books. They tell the elaborate, sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic, always colorful story of the diverse residents of 28 Barbary Lane, a San Francisco apartment building that's home to residents both male and female, gay and straight, happily single and desperately looking. Maupin has written two novels, 1992's Maybe The Moon and 2000's The Night Listener

He is best known for Tales of the City which became a television mini-series. His new novel is The Night Listener and it is about a writer who reads his work on the air as a radio serial. Details or Transcript: The writer of the popular Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin, talks to Michael Cathcart about his new book, The Night Listener Michael Cathcart: Is gay lit an empowering category for Armistead Maupin? Armistead Maupin: Im very happy to have been honest about my sexuality all these years. But it never meant that I was trying to narrow my audience or that I was just writing for some people or about some people. Ive always had a broad canvas in terms of what I try to cover in my writing. MC: The Night Listener is a story told by a man called Gabriel Noone. Can you tell us about him? MC: You and Gabriel Noone, your narrator, have points of overlap. You dont seem uncomfortable with the fact that people want to identify the book with you AM: Im not uncomfortable with it, but I want people to understand what Ive done, which is to take myself and the people I love, and cast us in a sort of mystery story. I attempted to make it emotionally autobiographical, to tap into real things in my life, in order to give it resonance. But Ive played fast and loose with the facts  its not the way things happened.
